We performed a comparison between Juniper SRX Series Firewall and Stormshield Network Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sophos, Cisco, WatchGuard and others in Unified Threat Management (UTM)."There is an easy process for configuring it, and it is straightforward to implement the device from scratch."
"The customization potential is quite impressive."
"The SD-WAN is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Quota."
"Secure, user-friendly, stable, and scalable network security solution. Installation is straightforward."
"It's quite comfortable to handle the FortiGate firewall."
"Good anti-malware and web filtering features."
"We use the FortiGate Sandbox to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, such as anomalies or malware, that are unknown and have not yet been discovered."
"The EEE security controls allow us to make policy restrictions, so I can customize port numbers to allow or limit control."
"If we need to define our user system from an anti-spam perspective, we can constantly update the antivirus."
"We use it as a firewall at our head office and branches."
"The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made."
"There is a lot of flexibility in how you can commit, check, and back out of a configuration."
"The product provides good performance and has features comparable to other leading products in the market."
"The Juniper SRX series is easy to use."
"We're primarily using Juniper's EPA feature, but not the other things. We use it to manage different points of firewalling of routing."
"A very robust product."
"I like how you can configure the rules. There is the task for the rules and a task for the network configuration. It also provides SMD filtering, and it can be integrated with the active directory for the users, their mission, and the VPN configuration. We are here in Sudan, and Stormshield didn't work in Sudan for more than a decade. Stormshield is a very strong firewall and very easy to configure and maintain. I am just working with the firewall solution, and we don't have any other solutions like endpoint solutions or something like that."
"This solution is quick and easy to configure."
"Easily manageable in a variety of environments."
"The most valuable features are the IPS, the firewall function, and the price."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"Our organization's main concern is stability, and this is a stable solution."
"Ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"I would like to have logs, monitoring, and reporting for a month without extra fees."
"It claims it does DLP, but the degree and level of controls are very basic."
"Some of the filtering is not robust, you can escape it with a VPN. Some of the users bypass some of the filters. It catches some but it also misses some, that area could be improved. It's functioning reasonably but there's room for improvement in that area."
"The product does need better support in the cloud environment. It's not exactly cloud-native right now."
"I would like to see improvements in the support from Fortinet. Here in the Philippines, whenever we have problems with a Fortinet product, we mostly ask for support from distributors and resellers and not directly from Fortinet."
"I think there could be more QoS features"
"Fortinet FortiGate is a stable solution. However, my issue is the performance only. When I use all the profiles, this affects the performance. From the beginning, I should have had a better sizing of the box."
"Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve to be on par with its competitors, such as Palo Alto and Sophos. They are the market leaders. Fortinet FortiGate needs to improve its capabilities. However, we are happy with Fortinet FortiGate."
"The setup process should be improved."
"In comparison to other enterprise-level firewalls, such as Cisco FTD, Cisco has improved significantly. In the past, I believed that Juniper SRX was superior, but after seeing the advancements in the FTD platform, Cisco has better functionality. I have not recently explored Juniper SRX's next-generation firewall capabilities as we only use basic firewall filtering in our enterprise network."
"This solution needs to update for "Next Generation" needs."
"In the future, I would like to see the UI more responsive"
"It should be easier to escalate support tickets."
"It must be 5G ready. The 5G network is rolling out soon in India, and Juniper must upgrade their firewall slot to the 5G network, or they must manufacture a 5G dongle card for the Juniper firewall. I want Juniper to upgrade their dongle from 4G to 5G. Presently, they have an expansion slot in the SRX 322 series and higher firewalls. In that expansion slot, they can put a 4G mobility SIM card so that whenever our primary link is down, it will automatically connect through this GSM network and form a tunnel."
"It does have its nuances in terms of deployment. There are always areas to make something easier or more intuitive or make the system auto-negotiate more with existing hardware."
"J-Web, Juniper Web, is sometimes not working great when users are increasing their internet use. Additionally, they need to improve the GUI, graphical user interface, and the firewall management needs to improve. Their CLI is good, but sometimes the GUI is very slow."
"It could be better if it were more user-friendly. It's too complicated for us to use it. The price could be better as well."
"The biggest issue was their support department was not able to help us, then everything stops. This is a no-go area for me."
"With Stormshield, there are difficulties joining things, and it can be complex depending on the architecture."
"Not all the fields are activated yet and we were informed that it will take at least one month."
"This solution has a big problem with web filtering and it needs to be improved."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"Improvement is needed in terms of the technical support of the manufacturer."
"The filtering configuration could be better. We have some difficulties with the filtering configuration and the filter extension. It's not that easy. It's not that straightforward. In the next release, I would like to see a reporting system. Stormshield doesn't have any tutorials on how to do the configuration and things like that. They just have documentation on the website. If you want to configure, for example, Cisco or Fortinet, you can find tutorials on YouTube. They show you how to configure the features, and so on. In Stormshield, there is nothing on social media or the internet on how to configure different things. The lack of documentation or the lack of material makes it difficult for others to adopt this solution."
